Get ready to laugh, strut and pick your jaw up off the floor — because this week’s episode of The Cutting Up is giving full runway meets “girl chat” . Hosts Connie and Lina are in the house, joined by none other than the fabulous Kelly Bensimon — author, fashion icon, reality legend, and all-around powerhouse.
From epic fashion throwbacks to must-have travel pieces, these women serve insider tea and killer advice for owning your look (and your life). Expect laughs, nostalgia, and several “did she really just say that?” moments. Kelly also dishes on her journey — from modeling to magazines to posing for Playboy and also giving back through her work with the Food Bank — proving style and substance can totally coexist. ✨
So join these ladies for a good cackle, some iconic memories, and some seriously good girl talk.
